On March 28, two young girls in the city went to a birthday party at the Raintree Hotel. According to Ain o Shalish Kendra, from January to March 2017, there have been 93 recorded cases of rape in Bangladesh. These are only the recorded ones, and there is still no database recording the sexual abuse of boys and men. My freedom is my own, not a commodity to be handed down to me by the men in my life. We will no longer allow you to hide behind empty words like honour and tradition and take our freedom away from us.
